Hex Cheat mode:
---------------
Edit FILE: "baldur.gam" in the save game folder.
STATS:
------
(although you can go above 18, it's really not worth it, all listed are suggested
limits, some race/class can be 19)
STR - 044C,044D change to 12,63
DEX - 044E change to 12
CON - 044F change to 12
INT - 0450 change to 12
WIS - 0451 change to 12
CHA - 0452 change to 12
(For a 19 stat, change the 12 to 13 *duh*)
GOLD:
-----
(does have a limit, but 65K is good for now) 0018,0019 change to FF,FF for 65K gold
SAVING THROWS:
--------------
(Must be reset after each level gained since the program rechecks your stats)
Change all in - 0268 to 026C - to 13
(it doesn't like a natural 20 but you can put in 14 if you like)
EXPERIENCE
----------
Here is an explanation as to how to derive the exact number you want.
1) Convert your desired experience to HEX don't forget that your desired
number will be divided by the number of classes you have!
2) we'll use the 89K max limit for this example. 89000 converts to
HEX 015BA8. You then reverse the digits for putting into the
file. 015BA8 now becomes A85B01.
3) change offsets 022C to A8, 022D to 5B, 022E to 01

Tips: Easy Level Gain and Money
---------------------------------------------------------
When starting the game in the Town of Candlekeep do all the "Quests" (errands
for guards, and other characters). That means anything that gives experience.
Once you have done this go to the Character Screen and export your character.
End the game and start a new game and import character. This allows you to
start the game with the amount of experience that you had gained. Repeat until
satisfied.
Easy Money
----------
Put potions in all of your quick item slots. Switch to the inventory screen and
replace the rightmost potion with a gem. Now return to the adventure screen.
Notice the picture of the potion you replaced with a gem still looks like a
potion. Click it multiple times and return to the iventory screen. The number
of gems should change from 1 to no number at all. Switch back to adventure
screen and repeat the process. now you should have 65,000 gems.
Object Duplication
------------------
Export the character that has the object(s) you wish to duplicate, export said
character to a vacant slot. Then, when in a game, import that character to get
the items in his/her inventory. The same character can be imported multiple
times to the same party.
Tip 1
-----
When you remove characters from your party, they tend to stay where you left
them. If you want to change your party and add that extra cleric temporarily,
you can always dump him later and return for the fighter you left behind.
Tip 2
-----
Some of the boss characters are a real pain to handle once combat begins.
They start casting spells and hold, charm, or terrorize your party members
so you are much less effective. If you run into particularly nasty characters
who don't attack until having a conversation with you, try attacking them
before they start talking. If you weaken them before combat, they are much
easier to handle.
ITEM
--------
After editing the Baldur.ini file in the Bgate directory, (as was done for
the other cheats), you can use the following codes:
CLUAConsole:CreateItem("xxx")
where xxx is the code for an item, see below
CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("yyy")
where yyy is the name of a creature or NPC
ie: CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("Ray") will create a gibberling
CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("Khalid") will create Khalid
CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("Noober") will create the best NPC in the game ;)
The name you enter is limited to 6 characters, so some
names are different, as in Jaheira would have to be entered
as blah:("Jaheir")
CLUAConsole:SetCurrentXP("8900")
Set the current Experience points for all party members to 8900

Hint:
-----
Submitted by: beb
If you want easy money,get many(20) winterwolf skins and go to nashkel's store.
The store keeper take the skins and give you 500 Gp each. When you have given
him them all, he can't hold them and he stands upon them, and you can easily
take them up and give them again.
Hidden comments:
----------------
When you add an NPC to your party, repeatedly click on him or her. They will
say things that are either serious or funny. For example, Khalid says "Click
on someone your own size". Each NPC says four things, then return to addressing
you normally.
Very good armor at start:
-------------------------
When you first start the game in Candlekeep, look to the right side of the inn.
There are two barrels and a treasure chest located there. Go inside the inn and
get the supplies that you need, then walk outside. Wait a little while. A guard
will walk by. When he is at the first barrel, kill him and you will get his
armor.
Unlimited liquor:
-----------------
If you like going to the taverns and buying drinks to find information for your
journal, you can remove your intoxication by saving and reloading your game, even
after the bartender refuses to give you any more drinks.
Extra time before attack:
-------------------------
If you are resting and are interrupted by an encounter and do not have enough time
to respond, press [Space] to pause game play. When the monsters attack, they will
be stopped (as well as your party) until the game is resumed.
Skip parts of the game:
-----------------------
Start a new game. Enable the CLUAConsole:SetCurrentXP("89000") to level up and equip
yourself with the desired armor and weapons. Do the sub-quests then talk to Gorion.
Go through the scene where he dies. Return to Candlekeep. The man at the gate will
not let you in without a book.
Enable the the Cheats:ExploreArea() and CLUAConsole:EnableCheatKeys() codes and have
your characters go within Candlekeep's gates, Press [Ctrl] + J to jump in.
You have now skipped the Iron Throne part of the game.
Enable blood and gore:
----------------------
German and other international versions:
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the
file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "Baldur.ini" file in the
game directory. Add the line "Memory Access=100".
Hidden Ring Of Wizardy:
-----------------------
Press L to see current X,Y coordinates for your mouse cursor. Go to x-2546, y-3507
on the Friendly Arms Inn Map to get a Ring of Wizardry which doubles 1st level spells
Combat trick for low level party:
---------------------------------
This tactic requires two clerics/druids to be effective. One cleric heads into a zone
you know has a pack of monsters, after casting sanctuary on himself. The monters cannot
harm him, but they all focus on him. Next the Druid drops an entangle on the pack of
monsters. Then the party opens up with missle fire and kills the helpless creatures.
This will not work against enemies that have ranged attacks, but it helped our first
level party kill packs of wolves & spiders with no trouble.
Quick cash or equipment:
------------------------
When you first start, you have access to magical weapons right at the begining. First
go to the training room. The mage there will summon some allies and monsters. Kill all
the monsters and steal your allies equipment. Export your guy before leaving the room
and then restart. You should get some healing potions a wand of the heavens, wand of
magic missles, +1 shield and some other items.
Algernons cloak:
----------------
To get a robe that increases your charisma and will give you a breath weapon that gives
you control of the spells target, go to the inn at bergost where tazok is staying. there
will be a fat man in the room across the hall from him named algernon, or he will be
wandering around. Take imoen up there save the game and pick pocket from algernon,
hopefully her pick pocket is good enough but once you get it, have it identified and
you can recruit any man, beast, critter, or monster good or evil on the spot.
Big Money:
----------
Try this to get some serious spending cash.
In inventory, put a potion in each of your quick item slots. Then, replace one of the
potions with a gem, preferably your most valuable one. Go out to the game, select that
character and you should still see the potion in your quick item slot instead of the
gem. Click quickly and repeatedly on the slot with the "bogus" potion. Do this for about
2-3 minutes (I'm not sure how long it takes, but I believe that clicking very quickly is
the key) and the go back to your inventory. If the gem no longer has a number by it move
the cursor over it, and it should now show 65,535(FFFF) gems. Depending on the value,
I've gotten as much as 12 MILLION gold from the sale of this treasure.
Duplicating items:
------------------
This trick will duplicate any item that can be "stacked" in the inventory. One of the
best uses is to duplicate gems to create an unlimited source of gold. Place a potion
of healing in one of the quick items slots. Open the inventory screen, replace it with
a gem, then immediately return to the game screen. The image of the potion should still
be in that slot, but the gem's name should appear on the help scroll if the pointer is
left over that slot. Left click on the gem once, wait for the target cursor to disappear
from your character, then left click the gem a second time. After the target cursor
disappears again, return to the inventory screen. The number of gems in that slot should
now be 65352 instead of 1. Do not stack any additional gems in that slot, or the CPU will
reset the total to 20. Note: This trick works with the original release of the game and
may not function in patched versions.
Have a character get the item you want to be duplicate. Save the character that has the
item. Make multi-player game with no one else, just your own computer. Select the first
character slot and import the character that you made. Fill the character slots with that
character.
Make all those characters give that item to the first person. Save the character who has
all the items.

Unlimited gold Tip I:
--------------------
Go down to the opening of the mine shaft outside Nashkel Mines. Do not enter the mine.
Stand by the Flaming Fist guard that guards the entrance to the mine, then sleep. Most of
the time a winter wolf will attack and interrupt your rest. The Flaming Fist guard will
attack the wolf before it even gets near you. If you have someone with missile or spear
weapons, they will kill it before it comes down to you. Your party will get all the
experience and a winter wolf pelt. Take the pelts to the Naskel store owner. He will give
you 500 gold pieces. Repeat this as many times as needed.
Unlimited gold Tip II:
----------------------
Note: If your computer cannot play the multi-player parts of the game, do not use this
trick. Items (Star Sapphire recommended) that cost 500 gp or higher are required for this
trick. When at the main menu, go to "Single Player" and start a new game. When starting
the game, create a Halfling Thief with a Dexterity of 19. After setting your first abilities,
make Lockpicking 65%. When your character is complete, go into Candlekeep and go upstairs
in the inn. Go to the room closest to you where nobody is sleeping. Do not go to the room
with the noblemen in it. Pick the lock, and peek into the dresser. Get the Star Sapphire
and export that Thief character. Quit the game (either saving or not). At the main menu,
select multi player mode and create a game. Start a new game, and on every slot import the
Thief character. Put the Star Sapphires on the first character and export him or her. Save
the game. Load the game and delete every character except for the first one. Import the
Thief again on every slot and transfer the Star Sapphires on the first character. Export
the first character, save the game, and repeat until his or her inventory is full. Then,
start a new game in multi-player or single player mode. In a multi-player game, you can
create a permanent character, then import the Thief and transfer the Star Sapphires. In
a single player game, you have to play as the Thief. Sell the Star Sapphires to get
320,000 gp per Thief character.
Unlimited gold Tip III:
-----------------------
Talk to the Gatewarden in Candlekeep, the castle that you start at. The Gatewarden asks
you if you want to practice some mass combat. Do so. Go down into the cellar and a wizard
will create some enemy illusions and an illusion party. Go into the illusion party's
inventory and take all their good items (plate mail, shield +1, wands). Export your
character. If you tell the wizard to teleport back outside, you will lose the items; you
must export your character. Then, start a new game, import the character, and he will have
all the items. Do this as often as needed. You can sell the plate armor for 300 gp.
Identify the the small golden shield before selling to to get about 500 gp.
Get extra gold:
---------------
Put a postion on your belt so you can use it quickly. Go to the main game screen to see
it. Then go back to your inventory replace it with a gem of an kind then go back to the
main game screen you should see the postion. Then click on the postion go back to your
inventory and the gem should have no number by it then go back to the main game screen
click on the postion again when you go back to the inventory you should have 65535 or
somewhere around that number number buy the gem. Then go sell the gem and you will get
lots of money.
Summoned Creatures:
-------------------
Summoned creatures (e.g. skeletons from 'Animate Dead') can be used to great advantage.
Summon them near an opponent and then run your main characters away until you are no
longer within sight of the battle. The opponents will stop fighting (as they can no
longer see your characters), but your summoned creatures will still fight the enemy
without them lifting a finger to retaliate.
GEM TRICK:
----------
Submitted by: Flamestripe
In The first baldur's gate, when you return the book to that lady, she'll give you a gem.
You have to have a potion and you place it in the quick item slot where the potion was,
now if you exit backpack you will see a picture of a potion, but when you hover over it
it will say the type of gem you got. However when you click The picture the circle around
him will sorta flash.
Once it stops, click once more then go into your backpack, Now there should be a large
amount of gems to sell at withrope's inn. ENJOY (:
